How To Write Without Experience

Writing about something you’ve never experienced can be a challenge, but it can be done! To make this task easier, I’ve compiled a list of tips I have found helpful in my own writing.

1. Research, research, research

I know, I know.  You’re probably sick of researching by now, but it’s the only way to make sure any details you add about something you don’t have first-hand experience with are accurate.

Get the facts, then double-check those facts.  It’ll help in the long-run.

2. Read works similar to yours

This goes without saying. Every writer will tell you that you must read in order to develop your skills. This can also help you research without having to comb through hundreds of Wikipedia articles (we’ve all been there).

Obviously, don’t trust everything, and don’t copy or plagiarize any of their work, but use what you read as reference materials. This goes for television as well. Now you can say you’re working when you’re binge-watching Netflix!

3. Don’t be insensitive

If you’re writing about an emotionally-charged situation that you haven’t experienced firsthand, you must ensure that you don’t block out those emotions. Writing something that doesn’t acknowledge all sides to a situation and the accompanying emotions is a sure-fire way to offend someone and create and overall unrealistic story.

Don’t just research facts. You have to research emotions as well.

4. Observe!

Anyone who’s been following me for a while can tell you that I’m a big fan of using real people to improve my reading. It’s a little difficult to explain, so I’ll use an example.

A large portion of important dialogue in my novel takes place between two middle-aged men in a bar. The problem? I’m a female teenager who obviously doesn’t frequent bars. The solution? I observed how people spoke to each other at bars in restaurants I went to, and incorporated that into my dialogue.

Though you might not personally experience what you’re writing about, you’re bound to find someone who does or has. Use your observations to your advantage!

5. Don’t get discouraged

I’ll tell you right now, you might take some heat for writing about something you don’t have personal experience with. You’re going to be told that you don’t know what you’re writing about. Someone will probably tell you that you shouldn’t write about things you don’t know about. If you’re young, you’re going to be told you’re not mature enough.

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED BY THIS!

It’s so easy to take what people say about us and accept it as the truth. Don’t listen to those who doubt you. Do your research, work as hard as you can, and you’ll be able to prove them all wrong.

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
